Frequently Asked Questions
Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatments?
Coverage for emergency dental treatments varies depending on your dental insurance plan. Many plans provide coverage for emergency care, but it's important to review your policy details or contact your insurance provider for specific information about coverage and co-pays.
What are my options if I have a dental emergency after hours?
Many dental offices offer after-hours emergency care or can direct you to an emergency dental service. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these options before an emergency occurs. If your dental office is closed and you cannot reach an emergency dentist, visiting the ER may be necessary, especially if the situation is severe.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, regular dental check-ups, maintaining good oral hygiene, using a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding chewing hard foods or objects can significantly reduce your risk.
Should I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
For most dental emergencies, it's best to contact a dentist immediately as they are equipped to provide the specific care you need. However, if you have uncontrollable bleeding, severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, or trauma involving your jaw or facial bones, seeking immediate care at an emergency room is recommended.
Can a lost filling or crown be an emergency?
Yes, losing a filling or crown can expose your tooth to further damage or infection. If possible, save the crown or filling and bring it with you to the dentist. To protect the tooth, you can temporarily fill the gap with dental wax or over-the-counter dental cement, but do not use any household adhesives.
How can I alleviate dental pain before reaching the dentist?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can temporarily ease discomfort, but avoid placing aspirin directly against the gums as it can burn tissue. Applying a cold compress to the face near the affected area can also reduce swelling and pain. However, these are temporary measures, and seeing a dentist promptly is crucial.
What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
Time is critical. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it without scrubbing, and attempt to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care. The sooner you act, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires prompt attention to relieve severe pain, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include:
- Severe toothache or pain
- Knocked-out tooth
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Abscess or severe infection
- Lost filling or crown
- Bleeding or swelling in the mouth
